Hill's offering 13-2 against the draw with someone winning at HT

Nottseagull · Feb 28, 2017

I popped into William Hill last night just to check the kick-off time for tonight's match. Up in the corner of the sheet in the HT/FT section I noticed a 14-1, which turned out to be for the draw with Albion winning at half time. Also at 14-1 was the draw with Newcastle winning at half time, which I thought was equally generous. The other draw option was a very poor 100-30, making the odds less than 1.75-1 against the draw by proportionately covering all options, whereas backing the draw directly is 21-10 (i.e.2.1-1).
So, putting equal money on the two 14-1 options would be the equivalent of getting 13-2 against the draw at FT as long as it's not level at half time. Don't you think this is particularly generous?

But you have to include a draw at half time. Where does that leave us?

I've gone for Brighton to win and both teams to score @ 11/2 with Betfred boosting the odds from 9/2.

I'll never forget the euphoria of the MASSIVE game when Knockaert put us 2-1 up with ten men late on! Then the referee lost control - to our advantage.

I've gone for the score being 3-2 Brighton @ 28/1

Duffy FGS & 3-1 Brighton @375/1 :albion2:

A win's a win but same score is 43/1 on Betfair Exchange. Bookies are highway thieves.

Uh_huh_him · Feb 28, 2017

I've gone for:

4-0 50/1
3-0 22/1
Sidwell at any time 9/1
Duffy at any time 8/1

Think I may have been a bit drunk when I placed those.

Noticed on Paddy power last night

Brighton 2-0 and Baldock to score was 45-1, I thought that was particularly generous considering Sam's recent form, didn't back it though but was tempted.

Not particularly generous, just standard odds for that combination in most matches.

Have done BHA to win and over 2.5 goals at 10/3.

you can't win at half-time surely, only be ahead.

For more likely outcomes, bookies odds aren't much different from the exchanges, especially when you factor in exchange commission. But for outside bets, ALWAYS go with the exchange - a bookie will offer 33/1 or 50/1 where the exchange is offering 4 or 5 times more.

I was just passing the bookies which reminded me of the match. I wasn't carrying a smartphone. How stupid of me!

Why do you? The whole point of a HT/FT bet is that you are not restricted so!

I said winning, not win.

There have been some really bizarre posts on this thread!
